Smart luggage company Away recently launched a limited-run collaboration of carry-on designs with NBA Champion, All-Star and Miami HEAT player Dwyane Wade. The collaboration is launching in two parts, with the first including the foundational pieces that the basketball player relies on for seamless travel.
The Away x Dwyane Wade collection includes four differently sized designs in sleek matte black aluminum. Consumers can get their hands on the limited-edition suitcases in four sizes: The Carry-On, The Bigger Carry-On, The Medium and The Large.
Each bag is full of smart design features, including an ejectable battery that may be used to charge one's phone, dual TSA-approved combination locks, slow-release handles that are wrapped in leather and an interior compression system to make the task of packing and repacking a breeze.
